The writer sometimes doubles as a psychogeographer, imbuing place with human behaviour, nature and emotion - or the reverse, imbuing the human with the elements of a place. This week’s episode of LifeJacket plays two pieces from Angela Chicken and Issa Loyaan Farrah-Kelly, and strafes processes/practices such as ‘inscaping’, to borrow the term from Gerard Manley Hopkins and ‘zoning’ from Wanda Coleman, with some Ezra Pound and Catherine Liu concepts sprinkled in there for good measure.
